Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Julie Johnson

Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This fantasy book may appeal to those who enjoy time travel, war, and sea monsters along with high stakes situations involving a lot of threats and murder. There is a lot of action that takes place in this book. At times, it became very difficult for me to keep up with who was doing what and where. There are times the writing was a bit choppy too. It’s a debut author so there is definitely a lot of room for growth, and I’m sure it will take place. I had a very difficult time keeping up with the characters too. I understand that a book of this length and depth will have a variety of characters but it almost seemed too much for me. I did feel for the main characters and the challenges that they faced and the decisions that these young minds were tasked to make. I even teared up in a couple of scenes. I’m sure that there are others who really loved this book but for me, it just wasn’t my style.
